The Rise and Fall of Rajat Gupta

Rajat Gupta's impending journey into the federal prison system for criminal insider trading ends a remarkable success story and punctuates his swift fall from grace.

A native of Kolkata, Mr. Gupta, 63 years old, moved at a young age to New Delhi. His father, Ashwini, a disciple of Mohandas Gandhi, was jailed for years in the fight for independence from the British and later was a journalist. His mother, Pran, was a Montessori schoolteacher and principal.
